Hardly a week passes without the men

The Future of Our Boys.

Mr.. Noah Brooks, whom all boys
will recognize as one of their best
friends. and as one of the most in
terestng writer's for the young peo-
pie of this country, comments in a
forcible way on a question of ever
pressing Importance in the current
issue of the Epoch. 1t is, 'What
shall be done with our boys!" He
finds the learned profession full, and
many avenues of work either crowded
or closed. The sea, which formerly
gave occupation to thousands OF boys,
is now sailed by vessels manned by
foreigners. The employments once
wholly filed by male youth are now
largely occupied by women. These
include clerical positions, private
secretaryships, and the like. 1t is
true that the new order of things
makes competition sharper, and gives
bows fewer chances but this country
is so large, and its interests and de-
mands so multifariOus, that there
is always something for every one to
do. 1t stands to reason that boys
can not achieve wealth and fame;
but as the years go by, the proportion
of the fortunate ones will constantly
grow larger. What is needed more
than anything else to add to the use
fulness and honor of coming gener-
ations is a higher and fuller appre
citation of the dignity of labor.
We have in mind the experience of
a Maryland boy who was left several
thousand dollars by his father. He
did not squander it as many boys
would have done, but he determined
to spend it all, and he did it in such
way that it became the very best
investment that he could have made.
He went into one of the railway
shops of the city at nominal wages,
and paid the rest of his expenses out
of his little fortune. He learned all
he could in a practical way there,
and then entered first class school of
technology. BY the time he gradua-
ted his money was gone, but he was
able to earn his way. He kept on
learning, and the consequence was that
he soon rose to an excellent position
and to-day he is in receipt of a SPLEEN
cellent salary, and IS considered one
of the best men in his profession in
the country.
Mr.. Roberts, the wonderfully able
and astute president of the great
Pennsylvania railroad, started out
as chain carrier i'll a surveying party.
Mr.. Frank Thompson, the vice-pres-
ident of the same road, was an APP
prentice in the Altoona shops. Mr..
Samuel Spencer, of the B. q o., and
one of the best railroad men in the
country, was a clerk not many years
ago at Camden Station. Instances in
Vulnerable could be cited, and the
moral of them all would be to learn a
trade, and to trust to industry and
application for promotion. The fu-
ture of our boys is the future of the
nation. We have not the slightest
doubt that it will he brilliant and
substantial but the individual cases
of marked success must always de-
pend upon the capacity and industry
of the individuals. Boys who look
upon life as a serious problem, that
must be worked out and not played
out, are able to take care of themselves.
The idlers, who expect to live on
money which they do not earn, are
the drones in the great national hive
of industry.

A Dangerous Uncertainty.

No matter how strong may be
every link in a chain of circumstan-
tial evidence, there is always a
doubt, lack of certainty, that
should weaken it and causes us to
distrust it. | remember story my
grandfather used to tell of a case in
which an innocent life was sacri-
feed for n guilty person.
A bov on a farm. for some INSIDE
meanor, was sentenced by his father,
a stern man. with an eve to saving
a half-price ticket, to be deprived of
his annual circus privilege, and in
addition, he was to hoe so many
rows of corn while the rest of the
family took in the lady's pad act,
the bareback riding of Jack Robin
son. the club that killed Capt. Cook
and other attractions of the great
moral show The boy watched the
wagon drive away, with tears in his
eyes, and then he went at the corn
rows with determination to make a
short crop if it could be worked
without detection.
But he grew hungry after awhile,
and went into the house and inves-
tieated the pantry. There were
seven pies-it was an American
household-seven blackberry pies
baked for Sunday. The boy, who
was feeling very well himself, soon
placed his person anterior to six of
the pies, but paused thoughtfully,
and with keen regret midway on the
seventh. One half of that he left.
He then caught the family cat, and
thrust her nose and feet into the pie
and dropped her on the clean, white
sanded floor of the pantry that she
might track around on it. Then he
went back to his corn rows.
Evening brought the family home.
The boy saw them climb joyOusly
out of the big wagon. He noted
how the over-ripe apples fell from
the trees when his sister jumped over
the side and alighted fiatfooted on
the ground. He saw his father let
himself down over the double trees
and get himself kicked twice by the
roam colt. He saw his mother wait
ing patiently until somebody had
time and inclination to take the
baby. He saw his grandmother
perch herself on the hub of the hind
wheel on one foot, while she made
vague, circumferential, wandering
excursions for the wide, wide world
with the other. He saw his broth
ers let themselves down over the
tailgate and sneak away to avoid
doing any work. At last the wagon
was empty and there was visible
signs of excitement about the house.
1.-The raid is discovered" said the
boy, cutting the roots of a healthy
stalk of corn and carefully killing
up vigorous lance weed. Present

Mamma said little Nellie one
day at breakfast, suddenly, "every
morning l pray to God to give me
my daily bread, but really it is you
that gives it to me-isn't it p ''Let
us think for moment about that,
Nellie" replied her mother. ''Where
do / get the bread L get you: 2
.'FrOm the baker, mamma, land
he gets the -four out of which he
makes it from the miller, and the
miller gets the grain out of which he
makes the flour from the farmer,
and the farmer gets the 9rain-where
does the farmer get the grain, my
little girl - s'Whv, out of the
ground" said Nellie. Don't you
remember Uncle George was cutting
wheat and oats when we were at the
farm Z" ''Well, now, suppose that
Uncle George put grain in the ground
and God sent no sunshine, and no
dew, and no rain, would Uncle
George have any harvest" ''Why,
no." said little Nellie, looking sober.
''Then, you see, it is God after all,
who gives us each day our daily
bread; and when we have fruitful
seasons and plenty to eat we ought
to be very thankful to our kind Faith
er in heaven who never fOrgets to
give us what we need. Elk.

" he saw his father come out of the
house with the gun over his shoulder
and the cat under his arm. 1.-The
culprit is arrested" remarked the
young robber, as he leaned thought
fully upon his hoe and watched his
father disappear behind the barn.
The sharp reports of gun rang out
upon the quiet of the sunset hour.

confident expression of one who
knows what he is talking about,

Two Strange Creatures.

The rare collection of animals at
the geological garden, says a Phila-
delphia dispatch dated April 10, was
to-day enriched by two specimens
which, if they live, will enjoy the
distinction of having no counterparts
in this country. The first is the black
footed penguin and the other the
tachyglossus hystrix or ant eating
echidna The first is genuine bird
that cannot fly, and the other a four
footed land animal that lays eggs.
The echidna is considerd by natural
lists one the rarest and most peculiar
creatures of the animal kingdom.
The specimen at the Zoo, except a
stuffed one at the academy of natural
sciences, is the only one in America
where it was captured. 1t is about
the size of an ordinary pOrcupine,
which it greatly resembles, being
covered with long quilts, but it has a
bill shaped nose nearly three inches
long, from which protrudes narrow
tongue six inches in length. Ns
mouth is exceedingly small, and il
has no teeth. Its legs are short and
powerful, and its feet are armed
with thick claws that can burrow so
rapidly that the animal can almost
instantaneously disappear in the earth.
Unlike other burrowing animals, he
burrows with all four feet at once,
and instead of going head first, he
graciously sinks into the earth with
his spine curved and bristling with a
formidable array of quilts. On its
right hind leg is a sharp spur, sim
liar to fighting cocks, three inches
long. A little canal, connected with
a gland, runs through it and keeps it
supplied with poisonous liquid
which is said to produce instantane-
Gus death. The most peculiar fea-
ture of this strange animal, however,
is that it regularly lays eggs of dark
purple hue. When on its native
heath its diet consists of ants and
other insects, but yesterday it
enjoyed hearty meal of condensed
milk and the white of an egg.

THE WEST.

The Missouri is steadily rising, and has
overfowed the low lands opposite Iank-
ton. Near Elk Point the track of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and st. Paul railway has
been washed out for q distance of about
one half mile. A heavy rise is hourly ex-
pected from the upper river. The river
has risen two feet in the last twelve hours,
and reports of general overflow along
both sides of the river are being received
Couriers were dispatched Ito the more
threatened districts and farmers.
THERE is no longer doubt that the jack
son family, father, mother and two child
rem, were drowned in the flood at Painted
Woods, near Bismarck, says o dispatch Of
Oath inst, and it is reported that two other
families in the same locality have perished.
When the Washburn gorge broke the river
shot over it's narrow banks near Painted
Woods like the bursting Of water-spout,
| and in less than thirty seconds from that
time it could be seen approaching. The
food was over ten feet deep on the farms
and on the property of the settlers.
A SPECIAL from B smarck of the oath
inst. says the Northern Pacific officials
have been attempting to break the gorge at
Sibley Island with dynamite. The gorge
is ten miles distant, and many Of the ex-
plosions have shaken the buildings OF the
city to an extent that frightened the inhab.
itants. Notwithstanding the terrible ex-
plosions, the gorge is firm, and for Sax
miles the ice is piled into a massive and
defiant heap, completely damming the
stream. Reports received from above in
dictate that the highest water is yet 10 come.
The warm weather which has now set in is
melting the snow in the mountains, and
all the upper tributaries are rising with
alarming rapidly. Near the mouth OF the
Yellowstone river n number of people nro
reported to be freed by foods, and are,
like those who were on the lowlnnds south
Of this city, in need OF help. Some of
these must have perished before this time,
unless rescuing parties have reached them.
An attemp. is being made 10 raise the
steamer Tompkins, which was frozen in
the zee near lie Bean, fifty miles below the
gorge. II she is not removed from the
water before the gorge breaks, her ruin will
be complete.
